on the hills and in the valleys and

Antarctic circle!

DELICATE SURGERY.
a Rabbits Eye to a Hun
Suhiecf

Transplanting Rabbits Eye to a Human
Subject.
NEW DIRK, Feb. Charles A. Will
Jams, city editor of the Minneapolis
Tribune, who when ID years of age in
lured one OF his eyes, has just submit
ted to the rare operation of the trans
plantation OF a rabbits eye to his own
head to replace his damaged optic, the
removal Of which was deemed advisa-
BILE. There was. ofcourse, no hope ofgiv-
ingsight. This operation was first at
tempted by the celebrated oculist, chi
bret OF Paris, May IL, 1885. It
failed, and he advised no further at
tempts with human subjects. DR.. G..
Il. May, of this city, instructor IN
ophthalmology, experimental with
twenty-four rabbits, and was success
full in five cases. He concluded that
the operation could be performed with
good results upon man, and Mr..
Williams came to this city january
27 to have the operation performed.
This was done February /. For q
week previous the oculist had been
practicing on cadaver at O.
medical college to become familiar
with the operation. The rabbit,
Belgian hare, had hazel eyes,
the same color as Mr.. Williams DIR.
May was assisted by E. Gruening, g.
prominent occulist, by DR.. Wilmer, OF
Mount Sinai Hospital, and several
medical students. The optic nerve OF
the rabbit WAS severed and it's eye
transferred to the mans head and
Joined firmly to the optic nerve by
catgut threads. Then the muscles
and conjunotiva were tied and the OPP
Grafton was complete. Hot applica-
tions were made to the eye every few
minutes to aid the cohesion Of the
severed parts. The second day
q slight haziness of the cornea
was noticed. The fourth day
the growth of the muscles was
completed and the rabbits eye
moved In unison with the human.
The eighth day q slight sloughipg of
the cornea was observed, and it in
creased so that q great portion of the
iris escaped and left the eye colorless.
AS the abrasion could not be healed
without leaving great Disagreement it
was decided to remove the eye. Since
the eye was removed the cavity has
been kept bandaged and covered with
vaseline. Mr.. Williams will wait until
the healing process is finished and
then have q glass eye inserted. The
reason given for the failure is that the
rabbits eye had not sufficient vitality
to work beside a human eye or operate
the muscles and optical apparatus in
a human head.

New YORK, Feb. 14.-Several trains
filled with passengers from Montreal
arrived at the Grand Central Depot
yesterday at different hours. They
were all tourists who had been attend

Delaware & Hudson train left the
Grand Trunk station, in Montreal, at
4:2O P. M, and the Central Vermont
at A:3O P. NJ. Passengers for these
trains were taken to the depot and
deposited on the platform, where their
baggage was piled up, waiting to
be checked and examined by
the custom house officers. Not
an official or attendant was
to be found to point out the trains.
The trains were not made up. The
cars belonging to train were scat
tered about the yard on different
tracks, and delicate women were sent
from place to place, Juggling bundles
and wraps. trying to lind their
trains. There was neithe. system
nor order, and berths were sold
twice over for the sleepers. There
were in the yard sleepers belonging
to the snow-bound Friday Grains, the
held back morning trains, the two
long specials, the regulars and some
thirty odd privateears. At last after
waiting three hours, three or four cars,
after much pulling and backing drew
out and proceeded to Rouse's Point,
where, after many delays, g. few more
cars were run down. In this way
trains were made up.

Words to Workers.
Bishop Huntington.

The antagonists in the recent labor
troubles are striking in the dark. Let
the workingmen take into account the
ups and downs of his employer, and
let the employer open his books and
his factory to his hands, and then
peace will reign. In the long run, the
interest of one is the interest of all.
Strikes and boycotts are symptoms
of disease. 1t is in vain for capitalists
to call on the police for protection, if
they build houses on illgotten gains,
on skeletons, on tears; but you men
of iron must also take care that when
you get your eight hours instead of
ten you do not spend your leisure too.

man is judged not by what his proper

himself. Prophets, when they are not
pretenders, are realities. Tyrants,
hypocrites and monopolists try to
kill them; but they see further into
the future than any of us can.
Nations need them. America needs
them now. If the church had more
faith, perhaps more prophets would

HEAVY FLOOD LOSSES.

The Ice Gorge and High Water at Lyons,
Mich, Cause Great Damage.
A dispatch of the 18th says: The
whole country from Lyons to Muir,
Mich, presents an Arctic panorama
of desolation. Many merchants have
been unable to visit their stores since
Thursday morning, and several who
attempted it were swept down by the
current and narrowly escaped death.
All the merchants lose heavily, all
manufacturing establishments are
crippled and many buildings ruined.
The ice gorge shows no signs of break
ing, extending as a solid glazier five
miles long and fifteen or twenty feet
thick. The loss of property will
doubtless reach $3.50, 600. The Holly
water works building stands in the
middle of the food and has been liter
ally ground to pieces.

Don't Admit Trades People. -
WASHINGTON Corr Roston Traveller

Washington Corr. Boston Traveller
Some one has said that with good
clothes aud proper introductions any
young mSn can enter Washington
society and enjoy the association of
the most exclusive class. There is
truth IN this, but not the whole truth.
Society at the capital is promiscuous
to 81 certain extent, but there are
some people, admittedly respectable
and deserving, who will never be in
v1Ged to certain houses here. The
merchants of Washington are not in
vlted to attend entertainments as O.
rule. 1t seems to be the general de-
sire to limit cards to professional
men, diplomatists and army and
navy officers in particular. A man
may DE ever so respectable, he may
be cultured and learned, and have all
the traits OF true gentleman, but if
he is IN trade he must suffer from the
ed1ct that, at the present time
Is stronger than any law upon
the statute book. Each year
witnesses large additions to the
list OF winter residents. Wives and
daughters of men who have grown
wealthy in distant cities come here
brlmful Of amin alton to shine as So
cial luminaries. Extensive and ex-
pensive establishments are set up and
the ladies enter the field to dazzle
their newly-made acquaintance. OF
course they want to get into the top
OF the swim, and anybody who has
achieved distinction is welcomed with
open arms to their hospitality, They
try to limit their acquaintance with
the trades people to the transaction
OF business solely. Thus we see the
spectacle of g. woman whose husband
years ago sold tape in Chicago, trying
to set the stamp OF her self-asserted
aristocratic, but generous heel upon
the social status of the well-bred
merchants of Washington. There is q
kind OF grim humor in all this, but
the world OF society here doesn't see
it.

Bill in Equity.

The Claimants to Harlem Property File
Bill in Equity.
NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-The Harlem
Commons claimants, about whom so
much has been written In the last few
years, have at last begun the legal
contest for the recovery of the prop
erty which they claim to own in the
upper part of this city. Astupendous
bill in equity was filed in the United
States circuit court late on Sat-
urday by James FL. McCreery,
of Pittsburg, representing Simon
P. Morgan, of Greensboro, KY,
the complainant, and about
400 other alleged heirs scattered all
over the country. Mr.. Morgan was
selected as complainant because, it is
claimed. he is one of the most direct
heirs of the original owners. The
name OF the Rev. W. R. Covert. of
Pittsburg, the attorney-in-fact of Mr..
Morgan, appears on the bill, but the
lawyers III the case are Mr.. McCreery,
Judge Bredin, of Pittsburg, and Fred
erick Baker, OF this city. The first ar
gument will be made before Judge
Wallace on February %, by which
time, it is expected, the defendants
will also appear. Mr.. McCreery
thinks that by the time the proposed
commission has completed IT'S work
and sifted out the real heirs, the num-
Der of claimants will bereduced nearly
two-thirds. The lawyers are to get
one-third of all that is realized. They
expect to get enough out of the case
to pay them handsomely for their
trouble and give each claimant about
$40, 900. 1t is not expected that any
Of the suits will be brought to trial
A compromise, it is thought, will be
effected in all cases.

Watching Sharp for Coins.

A quiet sedate young woman who
wears glasses, always carries couple
of books, and looks as if she was an
admirer of Browning, is one of the
queer characters who haunt the up-
town hotels. She is q shrewd young
Jewess, in spite of her Bostonian an.
pearance. and makes good living by
buying the foreign coin which is picked
up at the hotels from travellers who
exchange ghttering foreign gold for the
cart wheel American dollars. The no.
tells get the coin at q discount, she
buys it at a slight advance, and dis
poses of it in Wall Street. Her friends
say there isn't coin struck out she
can tell it's value at glance. She
picks up valuable pieces once in q
while that go to numismatists at g.

To Discourage Night Labor.
From tha Chicaan Mail


DR.. Edwin f. Rush, of this CITY.
whose house has been burglarized eight
times recently, has prepared, for g.
safeguard against future depredations,
an attachment to his windows that
will instantly kill any one who may
attempt to raise the sashes from the
outside. The arrangement consists of
glass tubes loaded heavily with full
inmate of mercury and that deadly
poison known as womail. These
tubes are so placed as to discharge
downward and outward upon the
slightest attempt to disturb the win
dow. A small quantity of the mix
ture coming IN contact with the skin
causes intense blood poisoning, fol-
lowed by g. most horrible death, no
antidote being known.
